Just a note to say a huge THANK YOU to you and your crew. During my ‘holiday of a life time’ your crew were amazing in every aspect of the trip. The whole crew ensured our high expectations were met and some.

Thank you all so very much for the trip of a lifetime. I had been dreaming of being able to join the Searcher on one of the whale-watching trips since we first found out about it, 9 or 10 years ago. When you build up something for such a long time, there is danger that it doesn’t meet up to hopes and expectations. Yet this trip, together with the fantastic crew, the amazing food, wealth of knowledge, organization and care taken over the whole experience was beyond anything we could ever hope for. Everyone worked so hard at everything and I don’t know how they were able to spot animals at such a distance. It was a privilege to be able to be on the same boat as all of them.

Just a note to say how wonderful, in fact magical, was my recent trip on Searcher. The entire voyage was a wonderful introduction to Baja and the Sea of Cortez. It was indeed a privilege to be part of such a wonderful wilderness.

The journey of the Searcher was, as always, stupendous! I am always left with a feeling of awe at the incredible beauty of the place and all the creatures who live there and so very thankful to Art for making it possible for me to be a part of it for a short time.
Baja is a very special place and I am so lucky to have found it, thanks to you and Art.

The Searcher pelagic sets a high bar for all other pelagics. Great captain and crew, comfortable cabins, good food, clean ship and restrooms. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
